Build an SMB FTC AI Compliance Checker
10/15The Opportunity
New FTC rules on AI ads, training data, and automated decisions. SMBs without legal teams need a simple scanner.
Original Signal
“I look at my Stripe dashboard and still have no idea if my business is growing. Revenue number goes up but MRR, churn, LTV — I have to calculate all of it myself in a spreadsheet.”
Score Breakdown
10/15How urgently people need this solved and how willing they are to pay for it. Based on complaint frequency and spending signals across platforms.
How open the market is. A high score means few or no direct competitors, or existing solutions are overpriced and underdeliver.
How quickly a solo developer can ship an MVP. 5 = weekend project with standard tools. 1 = months of infrastructure work.
Existing Solutions
Baremetrics is the category standard but starts at $108/mo. ChartMogul has a limited free tier then jumps to $100/mo. Both overkill for sub-$10k MRR businesses.
Willingness to Pay
Bootstrapped founders pay $15-29/mo for Stripe analytics alternatives; the gap between free (ProfitWell basic) and $100/mo (Baremetrics) is where a $19-29/mo tool wins.
